[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 2330895, member: 6957"] I have to admit to have wandered this path when I was first starting out back in 1975 or '76. When I noticed that the PCs were following his every suggestion I let him be the one to wander into a stone block trap. [b]*WHAM!*[/b] End of problem. :p Though at first the players thouht that I was somehow going to let him survive... until they saw the red stain oozing through the brand new cracks in the ceiling in the room directly below his doom. A variant is the DM who uses his or her old PCs as his or her NPCs. Another one to watch out for is the DM who revises what happened in game if they don't like it. Not because otherwise the game is going to be tossed into the crapper, but just because they didn't like some of the consequences. DMs who are completely clueless about the time period that they are running games in. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
